I have not a whit to contribute to the issue of whether or how this is broken (too far off from my own field of expertise). But I thought you might like to know that it's easy enough to run the 32-bit version from your 64-bit install. You can use the Evaluation->Kernel Configuration Options... dialog to tailor the existing kernel or create a new one to be launched as... SystemFiles\Kernel\Binaries\Windows\MathKernel Sincerely, John Fultz jfultz at wolfram.com User Interface Group Wolfram Research, Inc.
